B   E   Abm   Ebm C#m

B                       E
Let’s not worry about images
Abm                   Ebm    C#m
Let’s not worry about mind control
B                           E
Let’s stop talking about prisoners
Abm             Ebm     C#m
Up against an invisible wall
B                 E
Let’s not feel anything at all
Abm                  Ebm       C#m
Keep it inside your chest all night

B   E   Abm   Ebm C#m

B                       E
Let’s not worry about going extinct
Abm                              Ebm    C#m
We’ll be preserved on a shelf somewhere
B                      E
Give us mirrors for company
    Abm                                      Ebm  C#m
And lock all the windows and doors when you leave

B                    F#      E              B
It’s as if nothing happened, as if it was enough
B                     F#        E               Abm
Think we rolled over gladly, thinking of shiny things
Abm                F#           E                    B
We wasted a lot to get there, burnt all the bridges home
B                      F#          E                 B
The last of the pterodactyls has headed out for the seas

B   E   Abm   Ebm C#m

B                 E
Build us a new perpetuity
Abm                                   Ebm    C#m
Tell us we’ve nothing to fear from ourselves
B                            E
Now that we’re painted so colorfully
Abm                                    Ebm  C#m      
We’ll be replaced by someone somewhere soon

B                    F#      E              B
It’s as if nothing happened, as if it was enough
B                     F#        E               Abm
Think we rolled over gladly, thinking of shiny things
Abm                F#           E                    B
We wasted a lot to get there, burnt all the bridges home
B                      F#          E                 B
The last of the pterodactyls has headed out for the seas

B   F# E x4

B                    F#      E              B
It’s as if nothing happened, as if it was enough
B                     F#        E               Abm
Think we rolled over gladly, thinking of shiny things
Abm                F#           E                    B
We wasted a lot to get there, burnt all the bridges home
B                      F#          E                 B
The last of the pterodactyls has headed out for the seas
